reply to NYT:Can Refugees Have Human Rights?

"All men are created equal" by their "Creator": Evolution. Some of us advocate that God is a simple personification of Evolution. We know we were created by the evolution; well, at least the minimally educated know this. More importantly is the Constitution's declaration that "..no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law..." It's NOT "no citizen", NOT "no taxpayer", NOT "no landowner": No person shall be deprived says all people's life , liberty, and property can only be take through the application of existing laws and only according to the protections given in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments. All person's include those we hate, even with reason, like Christians, Muslims, even Buddhists; or even without reason, like illegal aliens, members of opposing political parties, parents, All Representatives, ALL Torturers, All liars who got 4000 American armed service members slaughtered on foreign shores, in IRAQ, along with 25,000 wounded. because they new they could lie to America and be believed. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? In the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the American Government. American cannot survive. There is no love for the Founding Philosophy. That philosophy wasn't very great, just common sense: if you don't trust the people to vote on the laws they live under, vote for the Executives who execute the laws, vote for the judges who interpret the laws, make a REPUBLIC not DEMOCRACY.

Despicable Capital One Bank

Capital One closed my credit card today: "Principal owner(s) have past, present or pending legal action". Since I have been current on all payments, and since my legal status hasn't changed since I got the card, they have arbitrarily and capriciously breached our contract, denied me the equal protection of the laws, interfered with my actions in interstate commerce. Can't imagine a bank being run by despicable law breaking fools. Can you?

The origin of our prison 'problem: re NYT Brooks column.

The prison problem is a direct consequence of the 'great' Repblican President:Ronald Reagan: "Lock them up and throw away the key." This presumptive Christian with no Church affiliation, had the term "rehabilitation" removed from the Prison laws. It was ok to punish and over punish prisoners. Remember all the jokes about 'prison rape'. And the fact that half of them were by the guards! So the moral-majority came and punished all the poor blacks and Latinos with 3 time the punishment meted out whites. It was the Christian thing to do. Then came the Republican anti-poor, anti-black, and anti-Latino wave of 'Conservatism'. But the finishing blow was the political payoff system for the rural Republican supporters: build prisons in their community, give the locals all the guard and executive and health care jobs in the prisons and build a base of "good Christian prison employees" who knew who buttered their bread. The Republicans recently talked about the blacks voting democratic to 'get something' from the government. The Republicans gave jobs and more jobs to the raw uneducated and untrained rural workers, turning them into indentured servants of their party, and the new 'moral' government supported Republican voters who were propagandized into hating those 'animals' - once called human beings. Our Representative Government excessively imprisoned three generations of poor and downtrodden for prison worker votes, giving prison worker jobs in return. The good old USA!

Secrecy in the Supreme Court

I disagree that there are good reasons for any secrecy in the deliberations of the Supreme Court, or for that matter in any part of our government. The purpose of 'secrete deliberations' is to hide the intentions and process of government from the governed: no other possible reason. The justices do not publish their internal debates to hide their ignorance, personal philosophies, and human characters: because the people would not "understand" or appreciate their Superior, or inferior, methods, logic, intellect and character. Which of course is not true, all men are created equal: equally fallible, equally corruptible, equally selfish and equally altruistic. They hide from cowardice, from a belief that they are superior in judgement to the 320 million of us, their obedient servants. We are slaes and puppets of two generation old philosophies of life, government, and law embedded in their failing memories. And we are forbidden to criticize their debates and those verhy philosophies that would be displayed by access to their deliberations. This is the last great bastion of government by the "philosopher kings". An historically spurned and discredited form of government that is contradicted by the Constitution itself, and then embedded in the Constitution, "for the good of the people". We need an Actual Democracy where all who serve in government are chosen directly by the people and are answerable to the people. Where the people vote directly on the laws and officers.

Psychologists Rule Out Future Aide for Torture

There were several M.D.s, physicians, medical doctors who supported the torturers in questioning many of the Guantanamo prisoners. doctors who stopped the torture proceedings when it looked like organ damage or nearness to death itself was obvious. Then the doctors treated the prisoners, helped them back to health, SO THE PRISONERS COULD BE TORTURED SOME MORE. These are them men, medical doctors, who had taken the Hippocratic Oath, that were the despicable villains of the torture chambers of Guantanamo, for at least 6 years. Where is the American Medical Association on this issue. Why are their outcry's? Where is the moral fiber of America on this issue. Psychologists can easily error. Doctors have a far deeper training, usually with ethics, morality, and human life and dignity given a place in their decision making training. For Doctors to support the actions of torturing fools is take a humane profession and use to impose man's inhumanities to man. We know who Mengele was in the German Death Camps. Who was his counter part in Guantanamo? Who's hiding his - or their - names? Who ever they are. They should be given the opportunity to explain their medical support of known torture. Then, if found lacking, they should be punished. Oh, and just for the new people running for President: Where are the weapons of mass destruction we paid 4,000 lives, 25,000 wounded and 4 trillion dollars to find? Maybe a new Republican President can find them?

Response to Facebook post on Respecting God, the Country, the flag and the military.

God deserves respect if He exists, but He probably doesn't. Our Country,right or wrong, has been wrong far too many times in my life. Until the country and the people are "Represented" by our representatives again it will never be right. The flag is just a symbol of the country. If the Country is wrong respecting the flag just emphasizes being wrong without trying to fix it. Soldiers deserve respect when they are fighting to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States", and not when they are fighting and dying for a politician's lie: like weapons of mass destruction or that the people of the United States should tell other people how best to live their lives -- or we'll kill them.

Racism from its source

 Our political managers, our non-representing Representatives, who bring a narrow view of history, a bigoted view of mankind, an uneducated view of science, are the people who spread Racism, in both the south and the North: hate the non-Christian (very 'Christian' of them), hate the alien immigrants (From the planet Dune), hate the poor (they take your money (The Representatives spend 4 Trillion dollars a year) These are the men and women who lead us into divisiveness, fear of each other, murder of citizens in the streets, in the schools, and in our Churches. We have only one alternative: turn this failed Republic of special people making special laws, special lies, to use our votes as a source of power to be used against us. We need, today, to seek and work to become An Actual Democracy. Assocactualdemocracy.com andhttp://actualdemocracy.blogspot.com/.
